BroadShield is a patented GPS-based interference detection suite designed to protect critical infrastructure from GPS jamming and spoofing attacks. It uses advanced algorithms to detect both intentional and unintentional disruptions, immediately notifying and disabling GPS synchronization to safeguard systems.
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems usually provide accurate data in uncontested environments. However, in contested or disrupted settings, many PNT systems struggle to identify the source of interference, making them vulnerable. BroadShield’s software library addresses this by detecting jamming and spoofing events, enabling PNT systems to respond and mitigate threats effectively.
With the rise of affordable software-defined radios (SDRs), GPS jamming and spoofing have become increasingly common, posing serious risks. Open-source projects have made it easier to turn low-cost SDRs into jammers and spoofers, emphasizing the need for robust protection.
Orolia’s BroadShield algorithms are rigorously tested and field-proven over a decade, regularly updated to counter new threats. Compatible with many commercial GPS receivers and operating systems, BroadShield can be adapted into various programming languages, offering flexible integration to protect any PNT solution.
